The dialogue will examine the role of renewable energy in the context of the Global Stocktake, diverse national environments and successful policy designs. Contributions from Legislators and experts will particularly highlight intersectional implications and socio-economic co-benefits of promoting urgent action on renewable energy uptake, including the positive economic and social benefits that renewable energy can bring to peoples’ everyday lives.
